I think Frederick and Lincoln are trying to say that slavery is not right and we shouldn't have slaves. I think the best quote is I believe this government cannot endure permanently half slave and half free. I think this is the best quote because it goes along with what there trying to say.

I think they were trying to say that the country needs to get rid of slaves.I think the best quote is the one that says a house divided against itself cannot stand.

I think that what Frederick Douglas and Abraham Lincoln are trying to say is that keeping slaves was and still is not right. Also that one of the two different skin colors where going to have to concur one another.

I think Fredrick and Abraham were trying to say the United States is supposed to be united. You can't call the US the land of the free if everyone in the state isn't free.

Think the two men where trying to say was we can not call ourself the land of the free and the home of the brave if we have slaves. Martin luther king Jr said "We must learn to live together as brothers or perish as fools."

Frederick and Lincoln were trying to say that slavery was wrong. I think the quote that best suites this is'' I believe this government cannot endure permanently half slave and half free.'' It suites what their saying because they are saying either all slave or no slaves at all.

I think Frederick was trying to say that people want things done, but don't want to do it them selves. "Want crops without plowing up the ground, they want rain without thunder an lightning, they want the ocean without the awful roar of the many waters." I think Abraham is saying that we can't do anything if we aren't equal. "A house divided against itself cannot stand. I believe this government cannot endure permanently half slave half free.

I think that Frederick and Abraham were trying to say that people wanted things without having to do the things to get them and also just wanted things to be different.Also, they were saying that it would get to where things would be one or the other and that was how it was going to be.

After watching Frederick and Lincoln I think they are trying to say that people on the south side on the united states don't want to work they want everything to be easy for them, but Lincoln is trying to say that the nation can't be apart it is either slavery or freedom. I think the best quote for this is, "A house divided against itself cannot stand. I believe this government cannot endure permanently half slave and half free."

I think that Frederick Douglas is meaning to say that nothing is free, and that none is never satisfied with what they have currently. I think Abraham Lincoln is trying to say exactly whats on the penny "United we stand divided we fall" essentially that a country cannot thrive if the country is fighting against itself and that if conflict like this are to continue the whole U.S. will destroy itself.

I think that they where trying to say that everybody should have equal rights like nobody should be a slave by that they mean either everyone is a slave or no ones a slave instead of half and half because its not fair. that way they all have equal rights to every one.

I think that what Abraham and Frederick were saying is that a country that is divided by what one side thinks is right, and the other thinks is wrong is not a country that some people will want to live in and the country may not last as long as they predicted. I think the quote that goes along with this idea is, " A house divided against itself cannot stand. I believe this government cannot endure permanently half slave and half free."

What I think that they are trying to say is that slavery is not right, and that everyone should be treated equally. The quote that I think best shows this is, " I believe this government cannot endure permanently half slave and half free " because it is saying that the government can't keep it with half of people free, and then the other half being slaves.

Frederick are both trying to say different things, but for the same cause. When Frederick says "Power concedes nothing. It never could, and it never will.", which is also my favorite quote, he means that even though each side is fighting over areas, it isn't the land they want, but they try to take the land to get what they want, slaves. Lincoln just wants this country to be together again, he clearly doesn't like it divided, slaves or not, he was fine with each side conquering the other, as long as it's one nation.

I think that what Frederick was trying to say was that people want things. Yet, they don't want the bad aspects of things. In the video, he says: "Those who profess to favor freedom and yet deprecate agitation . . . want crops without plowing up the ground, they want rain without thunder and lightning, they want the ocean without the awful roar of its many waters. . . . Power concedes nothing without a demand. It never did, and it never will." I think what Abraham is trying to say is that we need to be one country, and one civilization working together. In the video, he says: "A house divided against itself cannot stand. I believe this government cannot endure permanently half slave and half free. I do not expect the Union to be dissolved—I do not expect the house to fall—but I do expect it will cease to be divided. It will become all one thing or all the other." I think the quote that best shows what the two men are trying to say is this quote: "It will become all one thing or all the other."

I think what Frederick and Abraham was trying to say in their speeches was that they want people to accept others and make there be freedom all around the USA. I also think what they want to say is that not everything can come being perfect, it usually has something else to it, like Frederick said "They want crops without ploying the ground".

I thank that what he is saying is that the US can be one side or the other. They can't be both because that would be bad for US. It also is saying slaves are not ok. The US can't have that split of half free and half not. It said it is not ok to have a split of half free in the land of the free. The US is a country is made to be free not a slave place. My opinion on this is that it was good i enjoyed this video. Over all I thank the message is there is no room for slaves in a free country like the United States

I think Fredrick and Lincon were trying to say that they want part of one thing but not the other part of it. I do not expect the house to fall. It will become all one thing or all the other this is a good quote because missouri was a border state and it wanted two different thing but can only get one.

I think the best quote was from Abraham because he is against slavery and he said "I do not expect the house to fall-but i do expect it will be ceased to be divided. It will become all one thing or the other. Which I think means Abraham knows he will win or lose he has to take the risk because the risk is worth it, but if he did not take the risk the Union may have never won the battle.

I think that Frederick and Abraham are trying to say that people need to stop buying slaves, trading slaves, and honestly, just make slavery stop. I think that a good quote would be, "Power concedes nothing without a demand" because they are trying to say that they want slavery to stop and they can't do it without a demand. They can't do anything without a demand because everybody has a different thought and won't listen to them.

My favorite quote was, " I believe this government cannot endure permanently half slave and half free". Abraham was trying to say, we can't have have of our land filled with slaves and the other half not filled with slaves.
